Walter Martin & Paloma Muñoz’s Travellers are exquisitely created snow-domes that have then been beautifully photographed. Just wish there were more to look at. [via]

Chris Bourke’s lino prints mix skating, religion, tattoo culture and now the world of UK burlesque girls. Fantastic stuff. [via]
Box of Clouds & The Tin
I can’t imagine that I’ll see anything much better on the internet this year as the Box of Clouds. Kim Laughton has taken a cheap little photo-viewer keyring, packed it with images of the sky, taken off the back-light and housed it in this cute little tin. When you feel like you need some nice clouds (and I do often as I work in a place with no windows at all) you just flip the lid, hold it up to a light and you have slide-show of sky goodness. Genius.
The Tin is another beauty. Some idea but this time the viewer is packed behind along with “watch parts, insect wings etc” (to create a 3D effect) and a slide-show is played through a peep-hole. Love it.
Also, take a look though Kim Laughton journal and her Flickr page. There’s loads of fantastic photos that she’s taken. [Cheers to Thomas for sending the link]
The London Police Flickr Pool – 1000 Photos
There are 1000 photos in The London Police Flickr Pool. That means that over the 35 months of its life, the Flickr community have added an average of approximately 1 photo per day and I think it’s made this pool one of the best street art groups on Flickr.
Polite Umbrella
Joo Youn’s Polite Umbrella has a neat little handle that allows you to mould the footprint of the umbrella to suit your surroundings. “Users can easily adjust their umbrellas anytime by pulling a handle so that they can protect themselves from harsh winds or bumping into others.”[Cheers Thomas]

Experiment: 96% Of Public Ignore Famous Artist’s Street Art
Take one famous artist, have him paint one of his pieces on the street and watch it being ignored by 96% of of the passing public. Now that’s a very disappointing statistic for so many reasons don’t you think?
